If you're a weight loss for moms, you know that sometimes your kids can make it difficult to get in shape and eat healthy. All the running around after them, the late nights and early mornings can wreak havoc on your fitness plans. But I'm here to tell you that no matter how busy you are, you can lose weight, feel great and be there for your family.

Here are my top 5 tips to help busy moms lose weight:

1.Make small changes. Trying to overhaul your entire diet at once is setting yourself up for failure. Instead, focus on making small changes over time - you'll be more likely to stick with these changes and see results that way.

2.Keep moving! Ten minutes of activity here and there adds up throughout the day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park at the back of the parking lot, do jumping jacks during commercials ... There are plenty of ways to sneak in extra movement!

3.Plan ahead. It can be hard to eat healthy when you don't have healthy food on hand, so planning ahead is key. Keep healthy foods close by - fruit on your desk or in your bag will help curb cravings and keep you going throughout the day.

4.Get your family involved! Planning

The study was conducted to determine whether the use of diet shakes, among other weight loss strategies, is effective in helping moms lose weight. The study involved 100 moms who were divided into two groups. One group received a meal replacement shake for breakfast and lunch, and the diet counseling and support. The other group received only the diet counseling and support.

The moms who received the shakes lost an average of 22 pounds during the 4 week study period. Moms in the control group lost an average of 10 pounds. In addition, the moms who received meal replacement shakes reported feeling less hungry than those in the control group.
